the overcoat season is the worst in the year.

to buying overcoats" BY which he meant
that men are more particular in that kind of
shopping than women are in theirs. "A

ATMOSPHERE OF ALASKA.

Dense Growth of VegetatiOn-An Almost
Incredible Statement.
Lieut.. Schwatka, in making the inland pas
sage to Alaska, at one point went ashore
among the wilds of the Alexander archi-
pelago and he describes the vegetation which
he encountered as being most rank and lux
uriant.
At the feet of the evergreens clothing the
land grew dense mass of tangled bushes and
vines, and at the roots of these was solid
carpeting of moses, lichens and ferns, which
often run up the trees to a height greater than
a mans reach.
All this dense growth is as moist as sponge.
The thick carpeting of moss extends from the
shore to the edges of the glaciers on the noun
tain submits, and the constant melting of ice
through the warm summer keeps it saturated
with water. The air is burdened with mois-
ture, and everything is, like Mr. Mantalini's
proposed body, moist and unpleasant"
1t is almost impossible to realize the damp
ness of this region without having experienced
it. Water drips from overhead like an April
mist and oozes up beneath the foot as one
walks
As an example of the luxuriance of the
vegetation, take the Indians totem poles, ~
which, although they are dead timbers stand
ing on end near the native houses, bear huge
clumps of dripping moss and foliage at
heights varying from ten to thirty feet from
the ground.
1t will he we'll to explain, in passing, that
these totem poles are covered with very GU.
rious carvings, and although no one is at al
sure of their significance, it is probable that
they represent genealogies or tribal histories
of the Indians.
1t often happens that the seed of Silks
| spruce becomes lodged in the tangle of mos.
resting upon totem pole, and there germi
| mates Its roots crawl down the pole, and
having reached the earth, find additional sus
tenance there, which they send to tn,
branches fiourishing above, and which hav,
thus far been nourished by the juices fur
nished by the moss
| Imagine a city boy tossing walnut from
his window, so that it lodges upon telegraph
pole, sprouts there, sends down its roots t
the earth, ard wakes into such a tall tire
that the boy can lean from his window an
pick walnuts from 1t every autumn!
That idea is incredible, and yet its equivs
lent often happens in southeastern Alaska

DIR. M is very enthusiastic surgeon
and delights in cutting up the defunct in the
cause of his profession. He was lately called
upon to attend case at St Mary's hospital.
A poor fellow had his face filed with bird
shot and one arm nearly taken off. The
doctor had come directly from the dissecting
room and his head was full of his work there
Walking into the ward with both hands in
his pockets, as was his way, he approached
the bed.
SIS this the subjectT he asked briefly.
''No, DOCTOR" the poor fellow answered
"I'm not a subject yet; I'm only an object,
and he smiled comically.
The doctor nodded grimly (he likes joke
even at his own expense), but he gave an ex
ira touch to his professional care for tn
witty patient. Free Press.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

The flowers spoke all summer as they chose:
They said in colors what they sweetest thought
They seized the jeweled dews, lights latest
glows,
And into living signs swift splendor wrought
All summer long the flowers, The leaves-the
leaves,
They were the slaves; they had no word to say.
They wore the russet livery, and pale sheaves,
Gathered for grain, were not more mute than
they.
But reckless winds at last the flowers killed;
They withered into rags upon their stalks;
And then the leaves too, felt their firm hearts
chilled.
Yet-hushl The dying forest nobly talks:
"Oh, slaves have passion. The dumb leaves Of
toll
Accept not life ignobly-no, nor death
They show their colors!" Autumn's air and soil
Burn with inspiration of their breath.
IF" In New York Evening Post.

Arnaudeau publishes in The Revue Scien-
tifque an essay upon the question how the
ancient Egyptians managed to transport and
lift the immense rocks found on top of tenn
pies and how they raised their obelisks He
thinks they took advantage of the rise Of the
Nile Clothing a block with as much wood
as was necessary to raise it little from the
ground they pushed it forward to where they
wanted it to lie and held it in position while
they removed the wood, which left it in the
exact place it was to occupy. An obelisk was
lifted horizontally and pushed to where they
wanted to erect it. There they took woot
away from the base and fastened it to thu
top, which caused the foot to sink and the
top to rise-Chicago Herald.

DUN 6 co.'s BUSINESS REVIEW.

Moderate Improvement in the Outlook
Monetary Anxieties Diminishing.
NEW YORK, Dec 16.--R. e.. Dun 6 Co., in
their weekly review of trade, say: There is
clear though moderate Improvements In the COM
mercial and industrial outlook. mainly due to q
growing confidence that Congress will finally do
nothing prejudicial to business interests AT
the same time, il is, at many points. observed
that uncertainty in regard to the action of Con-
gress tends to restrict purchases and contributes
to the weakness in some markets. Monetary
anxieties diminish and speculation in prod ucts
abates Iron production, by many considered
reliable barometer Of business, falls little be-
low the unprecedented output of Nov. /. It is
held that new sales of rails for next year do
not yet aggregate moro than loo, 900 tons, and
large buyers still hold off. The statement that
a single sale was made on terms netting $31 is
questioned. and transactions aRgregating %, 900
tons are reported at $32.
Fine woods are quiet and medium woods
stronger, though sales at low figures by weak
parties are still mentioned. Growers express
confidence that reduction of duties will be
made, but the manufacturing demand does not
answer expectations. The dry goods trade
very moderate in all branches, is particularly
dull in wooiens, and the stiffness in cottons Is
attributed to a scarcity of ready supplies rather
than to large fresh orders. The boot and shoe
trade improves, with better Western and good
Southern business, and the leather market still
favors buyers. Curtailment in pork packing is
given as reason for speculative strength in
pork products though hogs are lower: Bread
stuffs have declined-wheat about SIC during
the past week; corn. 2sc, and oats fraction.
The exports of wheat and -four for FIVE

monetary pressure though the market at some
points is still close. Complaints of slow COL
lections continue, but less general; past
pressure is reflected, however. in an unusually
large number of failures. Foreign trade i'm
proves though the figures and the course of
foreign exchange indicate that foreign capital
still moves to this country, rather than out CT

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Quiet in All Departments, with n
Steady Tone to Prices.


Steady Tone Prices.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. IS.
In nearly all departments of trade quietude is
the most noticeable characteristic. Travelling
statesmen coming in. and will not attempt to
push business much the remaining days of the
year. AS class they have the last twelve
months been doing good work, which is appre-
ciated by the houses they represent The
wholesale business of Indianapolis has been con-
siderably extended the past year. and much of
the Improvement is due to the enterprise of the
travelling statesmen. In prices to-day there were
but few changes Dry goods men report all
lines of goods decidedly firm, and fall and
winter stocks well reduced The year just
closing has been a very favorable one to the dry
goods and the boot and shoe merchants. Grocers
report but little doing, and do not expect any
improvement before the middle of next
month. Sugars and coffees are firm
and steady; the same is true of near
ly all staple articles. In the provision
market there is little new to note. The tone
of the market has not improved much
since Monday when a cloud came over provis-
ions. The produce men are fairly busy The
outlook for butter is not satisfactory; prices,
eept on choice stock. are weakening. Cheese
moves slow but choice grades are firm. Fresh
eggs will bring quotations. but old stock
sells slow. Early packed eggs one cares to
buy. Dressed poultry is selling slow and IN
less the weather soon becomes decidedly cooler
prices through the holidays will range exceed
inely low. Shippers cautioning buyers over
the country operate with caution as prices
very uncertain for the next week. Irish po-
tatoes firm and selling quite freely. Sweet
potatoes accommodating under the light de-
mand and prices are weakening. Onions and
cabbage firm at prices quoted Cranberres are
in better supply but held firmly at quotations.
Apples selling fairly well, with no improvement
in prices Oranges are arriving freely and prices
